5 minutes with…. Tracy White, Activities Manager at West Farm

Tracey-2proof
How did you get into care?

I worked in another care home before West Farm as a cook but it closed down so I decided to have a complete change and took a position at West Farm as a carer and I’ve never looked back!

What is it that you love most about caring for the elderly?

I love to make them laugh, to listen to their life stories and ensure everyone is happy.

3 people you’d love to have dinner with?

Ashley Banjo (I ADORE him!!) Sharon Osbourne (what a character!) and David Walliams (because I think he would be an absolute blast!)

Guilty pleasure?

Chocolate!

What’s your passion outside of care?

My family, and spending time with them including my two lovely dogs, Bailey and Penny.

What people are saying

  • "I am very pleased with how my mother has settled in and generally how supportive and caring the staff are. This has given us peace of mind knowing that she is safe & well looked after. Thank you."

  • "Our mum has been a resident at Cramlington House for over a year and we have nothing but praise for the friendly, approachable staff and management. We always feel like part of an extended family and when we visit nothing is too much bother. We are completely happy with the standard of care, support and understanding we all receive as a family."

  • "From the first day, I knew it was the place for my mum. Clean, friendly staff, lovely environment! My mum would not get the opportunity to do the activities she is experiencing if she was not in Cramlington House. It is home from home and we can visit anytime. I can't say enough of how great Cramlington House is. "

  • "This is an absolutely superb care facility. The staff say that this is the home of the residents, in which they work - and they evidence that philosophy every day. In the last months of our mother's long life, we took comfort form the fact that she was safe and secure, being well-fed and looked after. The entire care team are brilliant. "

  • "All the staff at West Farm have provided such wonderful care, compassion and support to my auntie. We both feel incredibly lucky to have found West Farm, it’s been the perfect home for my auntie. I can honestly say, hand on heart, every aspect of the care provided by each member of staff at West Farm has been outstanding."
